There have been a tremendous amount of car accidents which occur in the United States, these accidents may result in injuries and sometimes serious enough that the people aren’t walking away from them, auto makers are doing enough to increase safety for the future of cars.
The automotive industry is constantly growing and auto users will always need to be protected. Car safety is one of those things that is always in need of an upgrade no matter what. As many people are under the impression that autonomous cars are unsafe although these cars may not be driven by a person these cars alleviate the problem with human error. As these autonomous cars don’t accumulate many miles, the research that has been done towards these cars shows promising data. Self-driving cars also known as autonomous cars are being developed by top of the line auto and technological industries such as Google, Delphi, Audi, Tesla, Honda and BMW. Since 2012 cars tested by Google, Delphi and Audi had 11 accidents while driving over a million miles on public roads. While this may be a lot for these cars to have this is wrong because eight of the eleven car accidents were stopped or going less than 5 mph, and then proceeded to be hit by another vehicle. This is due to human error not one of these autonomous vehicles. Google has had zero collisions in 1.2 million miles driven by these vehicles since 2009. The human eye will always miss something that technology can see. The technology being put into…

of an object to restrict its motion. Examples of inertia would be when a car is driving at a constant speed and instantly stops the person will fall forward if there is no seat belt.
The seat belt is a safety device that is commonly found on car seats and aircraft seats, it is made from strong durable materials such as fabric, nylon or polyester. Cars that are manufactured are required to have seat belts due to road safety laws. The law was introduced in the 1970s, it was shown that having seat…

In the past not every car had the top of the line safety as they do today. In the early to the increase in car accidents, these accidents were cause by reckless driving, speeding, collisions and pedestrian fatalities were a very big problem. Car manufacturers…

future is the safety of connected cars. Connected cars are basically cars that are equipped with internet access and usually also a wireless local area network. This is an important subject because the manufacturers of such connected cars don’t provide enough safety to protect these networks from being tampered. It leaves car owners vulnerable to getting their car networks hacked which can be dangerous as it can be used to control brakes, windshield wipers, radio, and other parts of the car. The lives…

Most of the automotive companies believe that the next generation of cars are going to be autonomous vehicles, but not all of them have the same opinion about it. Some companies want to bring a fully autonomous car to reality, which wouldn’t need any human interaction to drive the car, while other ones are interested in driverless cars, which need humans to drive them. Both “autonomous” and “driverless” concepts give cars more control over themselves, and both aim to give more comfort for mankind…

The Physics behind Car Safety Systems
By changing an object’s momentum, we are able to move it either faster or slower, and eventually to a halt, depending on the amount, direction, and magnitude of the force that acts upon the object. By applying this aspect on a car’s safety systems, we are able to either reduce the risks of injuries as the results of a crash, or to avoid a crash completely. It is with this principle that seatbelts, crumple zones, air bags, and braking systems, among other features…

Automobile Safety
It’s a dark rainy night. You and your family are coming home from a late night family party. As a car is coming through an intersection another car cut in front of it. The driver decides to hit the brakes so you can avoid the car, but as he presses the brakes, the car loses control on the slick wet road. He is not able to gain control and at that point he has endangered the lives of himself and many others on the road. This is just one example of the many types…

Car companies can show the world they care about unfortunate back over accidents by willingly adding rear view cameras to all cars sold. If all car manufactures did this, they will be showing their consumers that they are aware that there is a major issue of children and the elderly getting injured by these preventable accidents as well as show everyone they are willing to do whatever they can to prevent these types of accidents from happening further. If car companies are able to set their greed…

Introduction:
Cars have revolutionised the mode of transport for humans and since their first invention in 1885, they have had an incredible revamp to them. Some of these factors include speed, design, and durability, but even so these ever-changing evolutionary changes came with a price, safety. With the modern era of car development the necessity of car safety has been one of the most demanding dynamics in car design as of the 20th century. To understand and improve the safety of cars, a vast knowledge…

In America alone, 33,000 people are killed each year” (Urmson). Urmson is the Director of Self-Driving Cars at Google, and in March of 2015 he presented a TED Talk in which he addressed issues of car safety. In his presentation, Urmson goes on to explain that for over a century, America has come up with ways to mitigate car safety issues. Manufacturers have specifically addressed the fact that car drivers often err, and in so doing, create unsafe conditions for themselves and others on the roads. To…
